Hussien Bicar’s works in Nubian art as a source of inspiration for one-piece furnishings designs.
The study is based on reviving the Nubian heritage, through inspiration from the artist Hussein Bikar, who recorded the artistic decorative legacies of Nubia through his paintings. Many different factors influenced Nubia, such as the influence of different civilizations and among those influential factors is also the displacement factor that the people of Nubia were subjected to, as well as the geographical and environmental factors of the region. There are many crafts, and these arts are distinguished by the artistic units that indicate the historical era passing through them in terms of the form of the artistic unit and its significance to the artist. There are natural artistic units, such as the plant units represented by plant pots, roses, and palm fronds. There are also animal artistic units that are represented by the elements of the lion and the camel. And crocodiles and birds such as pigeons, turtledoves, ducks, and monkeys And also fish, such as the whale and fish, and insects such as the scorpion, as well as those artistic elements derived from celestial bodies such as the moon, sun, and stars, as well as geometric artistic units such as lines, square, circle, triangle, and rhombus, in addition to popular religious legacies and beliefs such as the bride, the veil, the symbol of the palm, and the cross, each of which has a meaning and function that it refers to.
